And some of my favorites that don't fit into a grid very well!
Flat, graphic poster of a Whooping Crane standing in the negative space of many Sandhill Cranes. The poster reads "The Great Midwest Crane Fest - Nov. 15-16, 2025 Baraboo, Wisconsin. Flat illustration of a Common Murre looking skyward on the edge of rock above the sea. Another Murre flies overhead kicking up sea thrift (pink flowers) the two are almost beak-to-beak. Flat illustration of an American Dipper framed in a circle. The dipper engages in its signature dip below the water in 7 steps, with stylized silhouettes beginning from a rock, diving below the water, and surfacing on top of the same rock. Flat illustration of a Northern Mockingbird singing in an upright position- semi-abstract bubble/balloon birds spring forth in the colorful shapes of many birds including a Blue Jay, Goldfinch, Robin, and Eastern Phoebe.

Illustration titled "Backyard Sounds" featuring a Cardinal, Goldfinch, Blue Jay, Mourning Dove, and Red-bellied woodpecker. Various, very subjective interpretations of bird calls form an abstract timeline composed of simple color shapes and loops.
